Designed by acclaimed architect John Michael as a custom residence, this extraordinary home is a rare architectural offering in Palmer Township's sought after Old Orchard neighborhood. Set on an oversized 1.09-acre double lot, the property backs to the scenic woodlands along Chain Dam Road overlooking the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission boat launch, the D&L Trail, and the Lehigh River, creating a setting unlike any other in the Lehigh Valley. Purposefully oriented due south to maximize natural light throughout the day, the home is filled with sunlight through soaring walls of glass, clerestory windows, and dramatic cathedral ceilings with exposed beams. Its flowing multi-level design seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living with an expansive deck crafted from premium Thermory Benchmark Ash decking, patios, a unique walkable skylight overlooking the gallery-inspired art room below, and peaceful views of the surrounding landscape from nearly every room. Offering over 4,600 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, the home features gallery-like walls ideal for displaying art, spacious living and entertaining areas, a dramatic fireplace, and a private primary suite tucked into its own wing. The contemporary kitchen showcases sleek Italian Allmilmo cabinetry, granite and stonework by the renowned Phillipsburg Marble Company, a built-in Miele espresso system, propane cooktop, and professional-grade built-in stainless steel appliances, including the oven, microwave, and refrigerator. Solid oak hardwood floors span the main living levels, while premium finishes and thoughtful details throughout reflect the home's exceptional craftsmanship. Outside, multiple outdoor living spaces invite you to relax and entertain while taking in the peaceful natural surroundings, including a private hot tub nestled just off the lower-level rear patio. A true one-of-a-kind residence, this is a rare opportunity to own an architect-designed home where timeless contemporary design, exceptional craftsmanship, and an unparalleled natural setting come together to create one of the Lehigh Valley's most remarkable private residences.
